Death By Audio Thee Treble Overload – Stereo Treble Boost / Destroyer
Thee Treble Overload revives the coveted treble boost circuit from the legendary limited-edition Thee Fuzz War Overload, this time unleashed as its own standalone weapon. Designed to slice through any mix, it delivers a razor-sharp, aggressive high-end that makes your tone sound mean, bright, and alive.
By carving away bass and tightening your signal, Thee Treble Overload adds definition and bite to anything you run through it. With over 60 dB of gain on tap and a powerful LIMIT control, you can push it from a cutting boost to crisp, blown-out destruction while still keeping your overall level under control.
Now in a dual-mono stereo format, it’s perfect for driving stereo reverbs, choruses, delays, keyboards, and drum machines straight into overdrive. Pair it with a Death By Audio fuzz to resurrect the revered Thee Fuzz War Overload sound—without having to chase rare pedals or collector pricing.
Part of Death By Audio’s Destroyer Series, Thee Treble Overload features the line’s signature aesthetic: compact footprint, glowing vintage-style LED display, and minimal controls hiding a world of sonic chaos. Each Destroyer pedal delivers a distinct, over-the-top effect in a stage-friendly box—together forming a family of beautifully unhinged stereo tone machines.
